Here's the clarification on your transition from Regular GST registration to Composition scheme:
Situation:
You were registered as a Regular taxpayer.
You opted for Composition scheme on 22nd November 2017, and it got approved.
Now, your GST portal shows monthly forms (GSTR-3B and GSTR-1) still active.
You want to know from which date/month to file GSTR-4 (Composition return).
Also, should you file GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 for October and November?
Important points:
Composition Scheme Effective Date:
The Composition scheme is effective from the date it is approved, i.e., from 22nd November 2017.
Filing Returns Before Composition Approval:
For months before opting for composition (i.e., October and November 2017), you must file regular returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B) as you were under regular scheme then.
Filing Returns After Composition Approval:
For the month in which composition scheme is approved (November 22 onwards), you can file GSTR-4 from December 2017 onwards.
GSTR-4 is a quarterly return, so filing is done quarterly.
